Berry Tostadas: Fried and Fresh


Fried food and fresh fruits--scrumptious separately and delicious together! This dessert is essentially a variant of fruit pie; instead of baked crust filled with cooked fruit and topped with whipped cream, we have a fried tostada 'crust' topped with fresh berries, using the whipped cream to hold everything together. This recipe can be changed dramatically to suit your tastes and available ingredients. For example, yogurt or ice cream can be used instead of whipped cream, and you can use whatever fruits you have on hand! :)

Ingredients:
  • Tostada chips
  • Whipped cream
  • Sliced strawberries
  • Raspberries
  • Blueberries
  • Julienned mint
  • Honey
Steps:
  1. Warm the tostadas in a microwave or oven, and arrange artistically on a plate.
  2. Dollop generously with whipped cream and top with berries, or alternate between whipped cream layers and fruit layers.
  3. Sprinkle mint and drizzle honey to taste. Enjoy!
